Shio Yuan's Desaru win a boost for her world c'ships' preparation
KOTA TINGGI: Chia Shio Yuan's (pic) feat of becoming the fastest Malaysian female athlete at the Ironman 70.3 Desaru Coast on Sunday has given her a timely boost as she gears up for her biggest challenge of the year, the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, on Oct 11.
The result could not have come at a better time for the 34-year-old, as she now has just five months left to prepare for the gruelling race in Hawaii, a course twice the distance of the one she just completed in Johor.

World No 1 Sze Fei-Izzuddin crash out after late collapse in Jakarta
KUALA LUMPUR: World No. 1 Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani needed just two points to book their place in the Indonesia Open semi-finals but crumbled at the death on Saturday. Indonesia's world No. 8 Sabar Karyaman Gutama-Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani were trailing 19-17 in the deciding game, but mounted a strong comeback to stun the top-ranked Malaysians 21-19, 9-21, 21-19 in Jakarta. Victory would have set up an all-Malaysian semi-final against world No. 7 Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun, who had earlier ousted India's world No. 22 Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty 21-19, 21-16. Wei Chong-Kai Wun will now face Sabar-Moh Reza on Saturday, hoping to repeat their feat of reaching last year's final.

Goh-Izzuddin fall in Indonesian Open quarters but will still reign as world No. 1
National men's doubles shuttlers Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin Rumsani. — IZZRAFIQ ALIAS/The Star PETALING JAYA: Malaysia's Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani bowed out of the Indonesian Open quarter-finals but they will continue to reign as the world No. 1 pair for now. Professionals Sze Fei-Izzuddin fought tooth and nail but it was not good enough to beat Sabar Gutama-Moh Reza as they went down 19-21, 21-9, 19-21 in a fast-paced 57-minute quarter-final match on Friday (June 6). The Indonesians, who had the full support from their boisterous home fans at the Istora Senayan in Jakarta, prevented Sze Fei-Izzuddin from making it an all-Malaysian affair in the semi-finals. Earlier, Sze Fei-Izzuddin's younger compatriots Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun had booked a spot in the semis with a superb win against Indians Satwik Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty in another quarter-final match. It was certainly a good day for Indonesia as their top pair Fajar Alfian-Rian Ardianto made it to the semis after beating Huang Di-Liu Yang of China 21-19, 23-21. They will next play the winners of the match between South Koreans Kim Won-ho-Seo Seung-jae and Takuro Hoki-Yugo Kobayashi of Japan.

Hevel hopes to be on another level with Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR: For Hector Hevel, it's more than just a game. It's a moment to honour his heritage, solidify his place in Harimau Malaya, and push Harimau Malaya closer to 2027 Asian Cup qualification. The midfielder, who is set to join Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT), is expected to play a key role in Malaysia's 2027 Asian Cup third-round qualifier against Vietnam next Tuesday at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil and he's buzzing with excitement. "Honestly, I'm happy to be back," said Hevel during a press conference at the Hyatt Place here yesterday. "The team are working well, the coach has a clear idea, and we're building on the structure and style we developed in the last camp. Every day, things are improving. We're more comfortable with the way we play." Hevel, 28, is part of the recent wave of Malaysian heritage players brought into the national set-up. His roots trace back to Melaka through his grandfather, and while he's yet to visit the state, the connection was enough to initiate conversations about representing Malaysia. "It came from my grandfather's side," said the Dutch-born player. "From there, discussions began, and we did the paperwork. People close to the national set-up helped, and now I'm here to contribute. I hope to visit Melaka soon and learn more about where my family came from." Since his debut against Nepal in March, where he scored and impressed, Hevel has quickly become a fan favourite. But he remains grounded, refusing to buckle under the weight of expectations. "Of course, scoring in your first game creates expectations, but I don't feel pressure like that. I just try to help, whether it's scoring, assisting, organising play or just executing the coach's plan. Football isn't only about goals, it's about doing your part to get the result." Malaysia's recent struggles against Vietnam, which they haven't won in the last few meetings, have been a talking point in the camp, and Hevel sees it as motivation, not a burden. "We know it's been a long time since we beat them. That's our trigger. They're a good team, but so are we. We've done the analysis. We know our weapons. Now, it's all about execution." With five newcomers - Facundo Garces, Imanol Machuca, Rodrigo Holgado, Jon Iranzabal and Joao Figueiredo - from overseas joining the squad this window, Hevel is playing a mentor's role, helping others adapt quickly to the system. "Adapting is key. The match is coming fast, so the guys have to feel comfortable as soon as possible. The rest of us are helping them settle in. It's not about pressure on the new boys, we all carry the responsibility. The goal is clear - win on Tuesday."
